427ac07f05 Extend route command:
- add show as alias for get
	- add weights to allow mpath to do more than equal cost
	- add sticky / nostick to disable / re-enable per-connection load balancing

This adds a field to rt_metrics_lite so network bits of world will need to be re-built.

2b78d30630 Remove the uscanner(4) driver, this follows the removal of the kernel scanner
driver in Linux 2.6. uscanner was just a simple wrapper around a fifo and
contained no logic, the default interface is now libusb (supported by sane).

443fc3176d Introduce a number of changes to the MROUTING code.
This is purely a forwarding plane cleanup; no control plane
code is involved.

Summary:
 * Split IPv4 and IPv6 MROUTING support. The static compile-time
   kernel option remains the same, however, the modules may now
   be built for IPv4 and IPv6 separately as ip_mroute_mod and
   ip6_mroute_mod.
 * Clean up the IPv4 multicast forwarding code to use BSD queue
   and hash table constructs. Don't build our own timer abstractions
   when ratecheck() and timevalclear() etc will do.
 * Expose the multicast forwarding cache (MFC) and virtual interface
   table (VIF) as sysctls, to reduce netstat's dependence on libkvm
   for this information for running kernels.
   * bandwidth meters however still require libkvm.
 * Make the MFC hash table size a boot/load-time tunable ULONG,
   net.inet.ip.mfchashsize (defaults to 256).
 * Remove unused members from struct vif and struct mfc.
 * Kill RSVP support, as no current RSVP implementation uses it.
   These stubs could be moved to raw_ip.c.
 * Don't share locks or initialization between IPv4 and IPv6.
 * Don't use a static struct route_in6 in ip6_mroute.c.
   The v6 code is still using a cached struct route_in6, this is
   moved to mif6 for the time being.
 * More cleanup remains to be merged from ip_mroute.c to ip6_mroute.c.

v4 path tested using ports/net/mcast-tools.
v6 changes are mostly mechanical locking and *have not* been tested.
As these changes partially break some kernel ABIs, they will not
be MFCed. There is a lot more work to be done here.

Diffs are minimized against p4.
PCS has been used for some protocol verification, more widespread

65067cc8b0 Correct types of variables used to track amount of allocated SysV shared
memory from int to size_t. Implement a workaround for current ABI not
allowing to properly save size for and report more then 2Gb sized segment
of shared memory.

This makes it possible to use > 2 Gb shared memory segments on 64bit
architectures. Please note the new BUGS section in shmctl(2) and

09f8c3ff36 Remove the single global unlocked route cache ip6_forward_rt
from the inet6 stack along with statistics and make sure we
properly free the rt in all cases.

While the current situation is not better performance wise it
prevents panics seen more often these days.
After more inet6 and ipsec cleanup we should be able to improve
the situation again passing the rt to ip6_forward directly.

Leave the ip6_forward_rt entry in struct vinet6 but mark it
for removal.

24cb0f2232 Add TCP Appropriate Byte Counting (RFC 3465) support to kernel.
The new behaviour is on by default, and can be disabled by setting the
net.inet.tcp.rfc3465 sysctl to 0 to obtain previous behaviour.

The patch changes struct tcpcb in sys/netinet/tcp_var.h which breaks
the ABI. Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800061 accordingly. User space tools
that rely on the size of struct tcpcb (e.g. sockstat) need to be recompiled.

6e6b3f7cbc This main goals of this project are:
1. separating L2 tables (ARP, NDP) from the L3 routing tables
2. removing as much locking dependencies among these layers as
   possible to allow for some parallelism in the search operations
3. simplify the logic in the routing code,

The most notable end result is the obsolescent of the route
cloning (RTF_CLONING) concept, which translated into code reduction
in both IPv4 ARP and IPv6 NDP related modules, and size reduction in
struct rtentry{}. The change in design obsoletes the semantics of
RTF_CLONING, RTF_WASCLONE and RTF_LLINFO routing flags. The userland
applications such as "arp" and "ndp" have been modified to reflect
those changes. The output from "netstat -r" shows only the routing
entries.

Quite a few developers have contributed to this project in the
past: Glebius Smirnoff, Luigi Rizzo, Alessandro Cerri, and
Andre Oppermann. And most recently:

- Kip Macy revised the locking code completely, thus completing
  the last piece of the puzzle, Kip has also been conducting
  active functional testing
- Sam Leffler has helped me improving/refactoring the code, and
  provided valuable reviews
- Julian Elischer setup the perforce tree for me and has helped
  me maintaining that branch before the svn conversion

3364462355 Switch to ath hal source code. Note this removes the ath_hal
module; the ath module now brings in the hal support.  Kernel
config files are almost backwards compatible; supplying

device ath_hal

gives you the same chip support that the binary hal did but you
must also include

options AH_SUPPORT_AR5416

to enable the extended format descriptors used by 11n parts.
It is now possible to control the chip support included in a
build by specifying exactly which chips are to be supported
in the config file; consult ath_hal(4) for information.

db7f0b974f - bump __FreeBSD version to reflect added buf_ring, memory barriers,
and ifnet functions

- add memory barriers to <machine/atomic.h>
- update drivers to only conditionally define their own

- add lockless producer / consumer ring buffer
- remove ring buffer implementation from cxgb and update its callers

- add if_transmit(struct ifnet *ifp, struct mbuf *m) to ifnet to
  allow drivers to efficiently manage multiple hardware queues
  (i.e. not serialize all packets through one ifq)
- expose if_qflush to allow drivers to flush any driver managed queues

02d09f7901 Type of q_time (start of queue idle time) has changed: uint32_t -> uint64_t.
This should fix q_time overflow, which happens after 2^32/(86400*hz) days of
uptime (~50days for hz = 1000).
q_time overflow cause following:
- traffic shaping may not work in 'fast' mode (not enabled by default).
- incorrect average queue length calculation in RED/GRED algorithm.

NB: due to ABI change this change is not applicable to stable.
